IT’S NEVER BEEN EASIER TO WORK WITH CHROMATOGRAPHY DATA.

CHROMATOGRAPHY LABS

ARE DRIVEN BY RESULTS.

Empower 2 Software puts your results in action.

Sample analysis may start with an instrument – but it doesn’t end with

a completed run. Waters® Empower™ 2 Software is chromatography data

software that helps your entire laboratory operate better. ■■ Productivity

increases and training costs are lower with our easy-to-use software.

■ Improve record-keeping and maintain compliance integrated secu-

rity features. ■ Streamline information management and storage with

forward-looking data and method validation management tools. ■ And

Empower 2 Software can grow to meet your lab’s changing needs: it is

easily scalable from a single workstation to an enterprise-wide network.

CHROMATOGRAPHY DATA SOF T WARE – EASIER TO USE T HAN EV ER

Empower 2 Software’s powerful features make it easy to focus on running samples and producing meaningful results without experiencing

downtime for training, re-engineering workflow, or adding new software to support instruments such as mass spectrometry detectors or advanced

chromatographic techniques such as polymer analysis.

The application’s improved interface is designed to maximize your productivity, improving how you collect, process and print chromatography

data. Results can be centrally stored in a database. Empower 2 includes capabilities such as customizable data reports, integrated custom calcula-

tions, advanced data management and an intuitive online answer wizard to help maximize your lab’s efficiency.

With enhanced 21 CFR Part 11 compliance capabilities, Empower 2 takes your ability to manage data integrity, advanced security and audit trails

to new levels. Now you have the ability to leverage electronic signatures to automate your laboratory workflow.

USABIL IT Y

An interface for everyone in the lab

It used to be that chromatography data software (CDS) either

couldn’t meet all of your lab’s needs, or was so extensive it was

difficult to learn and use. What’s more, many CDS solutions often

require add-on applications to gain functionality such as security

and data management.

Now, Empower 2 Software provides all the software functionality

your laboratory staff needs to efficiently work with chromatogra-

phy data. Empower 2 is equipped with unique interface options

designed for every user in your lab – regardless of their task or

skill level. The result is a fully comprehensive and user-friendly

solution that will increase your lab’s productivity.

When users log in, they are presented with an assigned default

interface option: QuickStart, Pro, Open Access or Web. Or, if

authorized, they can choose the interface most appropriate for

their current task.

■ QuickStart is based on a single-window interface. It highlights

where the user is within the application at all times, presenting

the appropriate functionality required when the user needs it.

QuickStart allows users to run the assays they need without any

confusion. With QuickStart in Empower 2, you can easily devel-

op new methods including PDA and MS data extraction. You can

also customize reports, and manage data with flexibility.

■ Pro user interface is perfect for system administrators or anyone

who needs total control and access to all software functions.

■ Open Access lets the walk-up user select the method and the

number of samples they need to run, and then start them with

the click of a mouse.

■ Web user interface makes accessing information for remote or

mobile users easy via the Internet or an intranet.

Empower 2 Software’s QuickStart user interface is based on a single window.

It highlights a user’s location within the application at all times, presenting the

functionality required when the user needs it, without any confusion.

V ERSAT IL IT Y

Multi-task without multiple software packages

Now all you need is one software package to accomplish multiple tasks in your lab.

Empower 2 Software lets you acquire and control data with different instrumentation including

HPLC, UPLC® and GC; different detection techniques, such as MS and photodiode array (PDA); and

among different applications, such as dissolution, method validation, integrated chemical struc-

tures and polymer analysis. The software also offers better tools to manage system availability

and solvent consumption.

Empower 2 also offers more robust peak integration capabilities with its improved ApexTrack™.

Automated and reliable peak integration, with effective detection of low-level peaks on noisy or

sloping baselines, enables you to reduce time to develop methods.

In addition to your Waters HPLC or UPLC Systems, Empower 2 Software controls other third-party

HPLC and GC systems. This compliant-ready software solution enables labs to standardize on

Empower 2, maximizing your productivity and prolonging your instrument investments.

Empower 2 control also extends Waters LC/MS systems, including our single quadrupole mass

detectors. This capability provides greater specificity of analysis, lets you easily use mass

detection in a routine lab environment and allows you to use compatible MS instrumentation

throughout your organization. Now you no longer have to outsource your MS analysis – you can do

it right in your lab along with your other assays.

INTEGRATION

WITH INFORMATICS

SOLUTIONS

Empower 2 is part of the

Waters Laboratory Informatics

suite, which offers complete

solutions that can improve

your laboratory’s ability

to capture data, secure

information and share

knowledge. Empower 2

Software offers tight,

automated integration with

our Laboratory Informatics

solutions, including Waters

NuGenesis® SDMS and

eLab Notebook™ Software

– products that can enhance

your ability to make better

decisions in any analytical

laboratory process.

As an example of the breadth of technology that Empower 2 can handle, the software can both control MS instruments and acquire MS data. This enables scientists to easily perform complex analyses with minimal training, helping increase lab productivity.

COMPLIANC E

Be confident your data meets all compliance regulations

Managing regulatory compliance and security are some of your lab’s

biggest challenges. Empower 2 Software provides a simple yet com-

prehensive interface for system management.

Step-by-step guidelines are provided to ensure that the administra-

tor can configure the system to comply with GxP and 21 CFR Part

11 regulations. Multi-level security is provided for every job – from
